Hmm. But just like in international football or domestic football, it's cyclical. Sometimes your team are magic and on the up, other's they are on a downer and are rubbish.
But for TV to commit to the county championship, the EBC would have to commit to the county championship.
Scrap the stupid 100 stuff and get all the money focussed on improving the product of the CC. Schedule it in May and June, Thursday to Sunday every week, all building up to the summer...
I don't think reducing the number of counties is the answer. It would effectively disenfranchise swathes of the country from having a team to follow.
I do think the Championship needs rejuvenating. It needs pride of place in the summer and a much bigger central marketing budget. I reckon...
